Is it possible to have a good rest in the fresh air without cooking barbecue? It is for this reason that almost everyone wants their stove to have a stove, barbecue, smokehouse, or all of these devices together.
What it is?
Modifications of furnaces with smoke chambers are quite diverse. Designs can be mobile and stationary. They differ in their configuration. The first type of barbecue has such advantages:
- practicality;
- light weight;
- compactness.
Stationary barbecue grills with smokehouse are fundamental designs that are built from strong and rather heavy materials. For example, such as:
- brick;
- concrete;
- a natural stone.
Note: in the correct construction of the structure, knowledge in the field of construction is definitely necessary.
Both mobile and stationary barbecue grills with a smokehouse have certain advantages and disadvantages. Everyone chooses for themselves the best option for the cost and complexity of the construction.
Fundamental barbecue grills
As a rule, these structures are constructed from the following materials:
- brick;
- foam block;
- shell rock.
They withstand the effects of high temperature conditions, and are also durable and reliable. Their service life is more than 30 years. Brick must be refractory. The foam block or cockleshell needs to be revetted. In such works, ceramic tiles or decorative bricks are used.
The advantages of designs include the following:
- strength;
- multifunctionality;
- security;
- reliability.
Some barbecues with a smokehouse of a fundamental type are equipped with additional tables, left-luggage offices, additional ovens and much more.
Construction of fundamental barbecue furnaces
Initially, you need to choose the place where the structure will be placed. Then a drawing is made. Be sure to consider that in the furnace there must be such components as:
- Brazier - located at a height of at least 80 cm from the base of the structure;
- smokehouse - located under the barbecue (its size can be varied);
- firebox;
- blew;
- chimney.
Note: quite often in the design a place for drying firewood is equipped.
After the smokehouse (barbecue) is selected, the drawing is made, you can start construction.
Work stages
Initially, the foundation is being built. It can be tape or tiled. The works use concrete mortar, metal rods to strengthen the base and adding sand and gravel. The depth of the foundation depends on the dimensions of the structure. As a rule, it is enough to delve 30-50 cm into the ground.
Once the foundation has dried, you can lay a brick. Work is carried out using concrete mortar, building level, putty knife. A pedestal is constructed from the first three rows of material. Then all subsequent rows are placed with an offset of half the element.
To make the structure strong, reinforcing bars are inserted between every fifth row in the masonry. After the brickwork is completed, proceed to further work:
- install a grill to improve traction in the furnace;
- the smokehouse is lined with metal sheets from the inside;
- shutters, grill for grill and other elements are mounted.
If barbecues are built with a smokehouse from foam blocks or shell rock, they are eventually lined with refractory materials.
Mobile barbecue stoves
The easiest way to build a barbecue with a smokehouse from a gas cylinder. If this is not, use sheets that give a certain shape and weld together. From a gas cylinder it will be much easier to assemble the structure.
Initially, a drawing is made. It is necessary to provide for the design of such elements as:
- smoking chamber - made of a gas cylinder, you can use an expansion metal tank;
- hearth - for its construction a metal sheet will be required, the thickness of which is at least 6 mm;
- partition - high strength steel is used;
- frame - made of metal corners and shaped pipes (40 x 40 mm, 20 x 40 mm).
Additional structural elements:
- flaps;
- castors;
- loops;
- chimney pipe;
- lattice.
The dimensions of the smokehouse and barbecue depend on the parameters of the container. You can make the design, as in the diagram.
Construction structure
First, the cylinder must be cleaned of gas residues. To do this, just leave it for a certain time on the street in the open state. Then, marks are made on its surface where the smokehouse, barbecue, firebox and other structural elements will be located.
Tools for work:
- welding machine;
- metal brush;
- Sander;
- hammer;
- pliers.
Note: do not forget about protective equipment: mask, gloves, face shield.
A grinder cuts out the cap from the cylinder, which is fixed using loops. The smoking chamber is made as follows:
- supports (frame) are constructed for the construction of corners and pipes;
- rollers are fixed on them if the smokehouse is mobile;
- one edge of the container must be cut off, it serves as a hole through which smoke will enter the smokehouse;
- make the door of the camera.
All elements are securely fastened by welding. Once the structure is ready, it is primed and painted with fireproof paint. After such work, lattices are inserted into the barbecue and smokehouse.
It is quite simple to make a barbecue smokehouse with your own hands, the drawings of which can be prepared independently or borrowed from a master. It will not be superfluous to get qualified advice from a specialist in this field.
